When Paul Levesque joined the WWE SNME Post-Show, fans again chanted "You f***ed up" at Paul Levesque, who joked he expected the chants to be louder.

On the finish to GUNTHER vs. John Cena, Levesque said he wasn't surprised by the reaction to it, commenting, "Look, there are time honored traditions in our business.  There [is] a way that you handle your business. John has said the right thing his entire career, that it is about leaving this place better than you found it. I think that...people don't...there's no way for people to understand that in the moment, but you do what is right for the business. You do what is right for this industry. John has done that his entire career, and I'm going to do that my entire career, what I believe is right for this business. It just is what it is. And I, and I understand that's tough for people to understand, but.it's part of what we do. That is the role we have chosen."

When asked if there was ever a "question in his mind" about the ending, Levesque said, "Yeah. That is, if you were to say, 'what will Cena do on his way out?',   Take the emotion out of it and ask people what will, what?  What would John Cena do? And I'm not, I'm talking about the character, his entire career. Sum that all up and say, what would he do on the way out? Right? If we want to talk behind the scenes, he will put over somebody on the way out. He will leave this better than he found it. He will go into the ring and he will make somebody on his way up.  That's what John does. It's what John has always done. I know people will criticize this. I think people will look at it. People will talk about this moment right here. I've got big shows. I'm good with it."
